“I grabbed my keys out of my purse, left it on the couch, then came back…to find this! No WONDER I keep getting all those ‘Suzanne Somers collection’ catnip mice in the mail! This is our ResQte Pazuzu (Zu for short,) she’s boss cat here in Santa Monica with her Hoomins Paul and I, and her brother kitty, Pho.”

Don’r you just loff eet when outta nowhere, cats decide to take over your entire existence bond with you? Take Stephanie, for example.

“This is Mr. Fluffypants, a cat I started feeding in the spring. When I first saw him, he was so thin I could see his hip bones and he had large bare patches of skin. Now he’s a big fat Floofball who comes for breakfast and dinner every day. He’s not adoptable but he’ll have a shelter on my patio for the winter and will continue to eat well. I love how the smudges on his front legs match up! Thanks for making every day a little brighter!” -Stephanie F., Albany NY.

[When asked to comment on his name and how he got it, Mr. FP just turned and sauntered off. As he should. -Ed.]

Anne S. tells us, “I think my kitty Kita is showing a possible new Rule Of Cuteness. “Sleeping in other animal’s dishes is Cute.” This is her falling asleep in our dog’s food dish. Love the Cheek Floof Action where her head rests against the edge!”

Normally—cats will NEVER play a game of catch with you. (Why? Because you want them to.) However, if you make it worth their while with their favorite cat toy, they might. Nice video from The Big J, and you can dance to it, too.

“Hi there, this is Pooh (short for Pooh Bear) and his ‘Tocks being moodily lit by late afternoon sun.” -Marcie F.

Update: These ‘Tocks JUST IN: “This is Mitzi. She would love to be featured! Thank you!” -Kathy A.

Update II: MORE ‘Tocks JUST IN: “I offer my humble sub-nee-shon of Sadie Marie Johnson. She is my friend’s puppeh which I was watching while they were away. Sadie Marie was tuckered out, and collapsed in the sunbeam, after a hard day of playing with her toys.”
